The new 6-point sockets with the radiused pockets at the corners are even better because they push on the nut slightly inward of the corners and thus are less likely to round it off. Personally, I don't know why the 12 point socket was ever invented. The only thing you really need them for is for the new kind of bolts with the 12-point head, which wouldn't have been invented if mechanics didn't already have 12-point sockets.
